Staffing
The establishment of a Chief Chiropodist and ten Senior
Chiropodists was one under strength at the end of the year, but
the vacancy was being advertised. Three full-time Senior Chiropodists
were appointed during the year, and one part-time Senior
Chiropodist made successful application for full-time employment.
These appointments enabled service to operate full-time at Rainham
and South Hornchurch Clinics, and the sessions at Avon Road
Clinic to be extended.
